Hi!

Is it possible to use an custom XML Directory Filename with VVX Phones?

 

I.E.: macadress-customdir.xml

 

Background is that our phonesystem populates the default xml files (macadress-directory.xml) with data we don't want.

So we'd like to use our custom filename.

 

Regards

Hello Martin,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

If your call Platform drops these into the root directory you could use the 00000000000.cfg or the <mac>.cfg and specify a sub directory in the CONTACTS_DIRECTORY="" section to tell the phone to ignore the ones in the root directory.

 

Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.

Best Regards

Thanks, worked like a charme.

 

<APPLICATION APP_FILE_PATH="sip.ld" CONFIG_FILES="polycom-[MACADDRESS].cfg" MISC_FILES="" LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY="" OVERRIDES_DIRECTORY="" CONTACTS_DIRECTORY="[MACADDRESS]-customdir.xml" LICENSE_DIRECTORY="">

 

Just one further question: Does the phone only sync when rebootet? Can I somehow let the phone sync in intervals?

Thanks

 

regards
